DataGrid - how detect a change in any field in 1 row, and then update table? VB6, SQL 2000
A datagrid, dgrCaseSiteInput, could contain as few rows as 1. Several of
the columns are for entry.
A cmd button successfully executes a stored procedure to update the database
based on those entries.
Problem:
I don't know how to update the table after the user changes a value in an
entry column.
I don't want to have to depend on the user clicking another record in
dgrCaseSiteInput to update the source table.
This goal is an attempt to simplify the user interface, and to allow for the
possibility that dgrCaseSiteInput might contain only 1 row.
Can someone tell me
- which Event(s) to use to trap a change, and
- what method to use to write the change to the database ...
rsCaseSiteFetch.UpdateBatch adAffectAll ?
I populate dgrCaseSiteInput using code at the bottom.
Thank you for any help.

Ooh, Ick, a data-bound control!
<holds up fingers in a cross to ward off the evil>

Seriously, though; can you do single-row updates, or

do all rows get updated even if only one row changes?
If you want single-row updates, just set the
..BackColor property of each cell on the current row
to a different color when a change occurs:
oldcell=grid.col
for x = 1 to grid.cols - 1
grid.col = x
grid.backcolor = vbBlue
next x
grid.col=oldcell
An added benefit is that all rows with changes are
now HIGHLIGHTED, so the user can review things before
they press 'update'.
Then, when the user presses 'update', scan the grid
row by row; any row with the 'update' .BackColor gets
updated.
I mark rows for deletion with a third color.
'air code - assumes blue background rows get updated,
'black backgrounds get deleted...
for x = 1 to grid.rows-1
grid.row=x
select case grid.backcolor
case vbBlue:
'UPDATE this row of the table
'turn the cells in this row back to normal
case vbBlack:
'DELETE this row from the table - and the grid
end select
next x

Randy -Thanks for the suggestions.
Can you tell me more about: 'UPDATE this row of the table
Is the statement to use ... rsCaseSiteFetch.UpdateBatch adAffectAll ?
I think I had better prepare for multiple-row updates.
Where do I learn how to set up forms not using data-bound controls?
I will appreciate any further help.

I've never heard of 'updatebatch', so
I couldn't say.
Please ignore any lousy indentation below;
I'm trying to avoid word wrap!
'-----------------------dim Rst as ADODB.Recordset
Dim Cmd as ADODB.Command
cmd.activeconnection = Rst
cmd.commandtype = adcmdtext
with rst
..open "select * from table1"
if .recordcount = 0 then
'no records returned
else
grid1.rows = .recordcount
.movefirst
n =0
do while not .eof
'put your data in the grid cell-by'cell. This allows you to do things
'(set cell colors, etc) based on the
'incoming field values
grid1.textmatrix(n,0)= .fields.item(0)
grid1.textmatrix(n,1)= iif(.fields.item(1)=true,"Yes","No")
grid1.textmatrix(n,2)= .fields.item(2)
n=n+1
.movenext
loop
end if
end with
private sub air_code_update()
Dim strText as string
'create a SQL UPDATE string using the specific
'data from your grid row. I prefer this method
'over the Rst.update method because I control the
'actual SQL command being sent to the DB engine
strText = "Update table1 set field1=" + grid1
strtext = strText + " where <condition>"
cmd.commandstring=strText
cmd.execute
end sub

This one doesn't give an example of updating an existing
record, but it's OK for the basics:
http://www.timesheetsmts.com/adotutorial.htm
This one updates, but you have to ensure your grid row &
recordset row match when doing updates. This _might_ work
with your data-bound grid:

Randy -Many thanks for the example code and the references.
I will dig in to it.
